Juventus coach Fabio Capello insists his players won't be affected by the negative press ahead of this week's Champions League return-leg against Arsenal.
Juve have been slated for their display in the 2-0 defeat at Highbury, but Capello said after his team's 0-0 draw at Treviso: "I don't really read the newspapers or watch television, so I always tell my players to focus on what's happening on the pitch. My only regrets about the first leg was playing a good first half and yet going into the break 1-0 down.
"I am the first to say we allowed Arsenal some chances in the second half that were easily avoidable. Evidently we weren't concentrated or determined enough."
The Bianconeri will be without the suspended Jonathan Zebina, Patrick Vieira and Mauro Camoranesi when they welcome Arsenal to the Delle Alpi in a bid to overturn that 2-0 defeat.
"We know what we have to do and that is create some problems for them. Arsenal have a great counter-attacking system with quality and pace. It's a difficult task, but it depends on how things go. We must go forward and be wary of their ability to hit us on the break."
